 # Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration
 [Source code][source_code] | [Package (NuGet)][package]
 
+## 8.5.0-preview - November 14th, 2025
+### Enhancements
+* Added a new method `ConnectAzureFrontDoor` to `AzureAppConfigurationOptions`, which can be used to load configuration settings from Azure App Configuration via an Azure Front Door endpoint. This enables client (browser) applications to take advantage of CDN benefits, such as scale, when fetching configuration. [#706](https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration-DotnetProvider/pull/706)
+
 ## 8.4.0 - September 19th, 2025
 ### Enhancements
 * Added support for accepting JSON values with comments. [#685](https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration-DotnetProvider/pull/685)
 
 * Added support for snapshot references. If a configuration setting's value is a snapshot reference, loading it automatically loads all key-values from the referenced snapshot. This enables dynamically switching between snapshots at runtime. [#689](https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration-DotnetProvider/pull/689)
 
+* Added an overload of `AddAzureAppConfiguration` that accepts the endpoint and token credential. [#694](https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration-DotnetProvider/pull/694)
+
 ## 8.3.0 - July 24th, 2025
 ### Enhancements
 * Added health check integration for `Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostic.HealthChecks`. You can call `AddAzureAppConfiguration` on `IHealthCheckBuilder` to register a health check for the Azure App Configuration provider. [#644](https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration-DotnetProvider/pull/644)
